Softball

Don't let your daughter miss out on the best softball experience she can have!
Germantown Little League softball program is looking forward to another great year. Our goal is to make our league fun and educational for all levels. We will be working with the Germantown High School Girls softball coaches this spring to bring additional clinics for the girls. We strive to focus on the fundamentals of the game as well as promoting good sportsmanship among the girls and coaches.

Competing with Richfield, Jackson, Grafton and Cedarburg, our girls softball program has done extremely well in past years and looks forward to another great season. League play for the girls will open the second week in May and will run through the end of June. Last year marked the 6th straight year our 10-year-old girls made it to the state little league tournament.  

The season length and games will be finalized once the number of teams for each division is determined. Spring season softball ages are determined by the age your child is as of December 31, 2011.
